Peltier! --A Poem for President Cl


President Clinton--

I hope you receive a million emails of this wonderful
poem by Cherokee poet
Svhyeyi Aga~Evening Rain.  But even if you get only
one~I know it will reach
your heart.



Hey hey time is now~~~~~~~
 
The fire crackled high and bright, sparks flying forth
filling the dim
light.  The warmth on my face, a touch to my soul, a
voice from within so
strong, I could not sleep, I could not ignore, that one
single voice that now
became a roar.
 
All over this land..all over this world, people are
gathered in strength as
powerful as the mighty buffalo herd, that roamed the
land with strength and
might and gave to the People more than just
life.... but spirit and hope and
all have gathered, the voices stronger united
together.  Clemency now Mr.
President, hey hey can you hear, the voices of so many
from all over the
world - hey hey Mr. President - clemency now, the time
is right - free
Peltier!
 
The protestors gather, they drum and they pray, they
sing ancestral songs and
wait day by day...year by year...for justice to come -
hey hey Mr. President
can you hear, the unity of voices - free Peltier!
 
The time is right for justice to come - to free an
innocent man who has paid
more than enough, for a crime he never did commit, his
crime was only in
being who he is.  In living a life of poverty, of life
on a reservation
created by the government we see.  A government that
took from our men, the
mighty fierce freedom and strength in being an Indian.
 
But we cannot change the past...hey hey Mr. President,
can you hear, the
unity of voices so loud - so clear?  It is within your
power to undo a wrong,
to free a man who has been shackled too long...hey hey
Mr. President, can
you  hear, the voices of the people loud and clear,
remove the shackles and
free Peltier!
 
Free Peltier!
 
Hey hey!  Free Peltier!

Children are going with out this year, both native and non native, do what you can by GIVING something no matter how SMALL.  Even a can of beans is better than no beans at all.
